Our Philosophy

When CLAS Information Services opened for business in 1980 (as California Lenders’ & Attorneys’ Services/Cal Lenders), the most technologically advanced piece of equipment in our office was an electric typewriter. We have come a long way since then.

As CLAS has grown, we have worked to develop new tools and to invest in technology where our clients say they need it most. Today, through our full-service workflow management system, CLAS InfoPro™, our clients have access to a suite of web-based systems designed specifically to help them streamline internal processes, manage projects and reduce their due diligence costs.

While we have embraced technology, at its heart, CLAS remains a service company. We strive to provide exceptional customer service, complemented by powerful, easy to use online tools to create the best overall solutions for our clients.

For over 35 years, we have made it our mission to provide accurate and timely public records intelligence to help clients meet deadlines, minimize risk and satisfy statutory requirements quickly and with confidence.
